China remains to be the overall leader in new installations for offshore wind, adding more than 2.3GW capacity in 2019, with the UK and Germany ending in the second and third place, with 1.8GW and 1.1GW respectively, said a report by Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC).

Within Asia, it is followed by Taiwan at sixth place with 120MW of new installations, and Japan taking the eighth spot with 3MW.

Wind generation in China is now expected to reach approximately 1,000TWh and solar generation to hit over 700TWh by 2028.
